He finds sitters for his other dogs but will not let this one leave his side. My husband and I both have allergies, keep a very clean home and have never had any pets inside. I’ve explained to my father that while I would love to have him visit, he cannot bring his dog. He recently showed up at my house (several hours away) for my baby shower with his dog and told me that he “knew the dog was forbidden,” but he didn’t have a choice. My husband and I were shocked and probably reacted poorly. How do I get him to understand that I’m not trying to be rude, but I need him to abide by our wishes? http://www.post-gazette.com/life/seen/2015/03/02/Setting-the-Seen-celebrates-first-anniversary/stories/2015030200422015030200422015-03-01T17:47:12By Natalie Bencivenga / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette2015-03-02T00:00:00When and Where: Wednesday at the Hotel Monaco, Downtown. http://www.post-gazette.com/life/fashion/2015/03/02/Stylebook-FGI-Pittsburgh-provisional-chapter-pushes-forward/stories/2015030200082015030200082015-03-02T00:00:00By Sara Bauknecht / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette2015-03-02T00:00:00The first paid admission event by the Fashion Group International provisional chapter of Pittsburgh was held last week at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh still has the social clubs to prove it. They include Liedertafel in Bloomfield and Teutonia Mannerchor in the Deutschtown section of the North Side. While Liedertafel is primarily a bar, Teutonia features dancing and Bavarian cooking as well as beer and music in its downstairs Rathskeller. The brick, timber and stucco clubhouse started as a men’s singing society in 1854. http://www.post-gazette.com/life/fashion/2015/03/01/Stylebook-Snapshot-FashionAFRICANA-to-debut-first-clothing-line-at-this-year-s-event/stories/2015030100312015030100312015-02-23T23:12:59By Sara Bauknecht / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette2015-03-01T00:00:00Fourteen years in and FashionAFRICANA is as steadfast to its mission as ever.
